Public Rulesets

We maintain a collection of Rulesets which provide a range of protection against common spam sources and virus threats.

These lists range from one giving a simple warning message included in the headers of a matching message, to a list which rejects messages from a wide range of countries and known spam sources.

All of the following rulesets reject messages which contain virus threats.
